Hi James,

Thanks for getting in touch sorry to hear you're struggling through the minefield of mattresses. Unfortunately, at that weight none of the John Ryan Contemporary models would be suitable I'm afraid as they would all be too soft.

The only means to create a suitable mattress is to look at our Artisan range, maybe the Artisan Naturals mattress for example, which we can create bespoke with an extra firm spring. This is however excluded from the 60 days love it or return it guarantee and is above the budget you're working to I'm afraid. The mattress you have seen, Hypnos Gold, does seem suitable for your weight based on the firm tension, which may feel more like a medium.

The other specifics of the bed don't really give me much to compare to without saying the GSM of the Cashmere etc, I doubt there are more than a few percents in there with white fibre. Our advice if you're a heavier sleeper is to go for a firmer base, such as a bespoke extra firm which accommodates 20-25 stone but if your budget doesn't stretch to say an Artisan then its preferable to choose a cheaper firm mattress and replace more frequently if need be ie every 2 years or so.

I hope that's been of some help James.
